An Equestrian Series Haydan

Very well-balanced and great performing hidden gem for Fall, Winter and (early) Spring, probably best suited for men aged 25 and up. Slightly fresh, spicy and aromatic notes with just the right amount of sweetness in perfect harmony with woods, leather, a touch of green earthiness and maybe a very subtle oud note buzzing around in the background. Smells at least 3 times more expensive than it actually is (I paid 32 Euros). Yesterday I wore it at the office and in the evening at my sister's birthday party and I got at least 4 compliments over the day (3 women, 1 man). 9.65/10

Bu markanın son donemde hit olmasının bence en önemli sebebi replika calisirken orjinalin aynısını yapmak konusunda ısrarcı olmaması. Bazi replikalar ısrarla ayni olmaya calsiiyor ve bu da genellikle mümkün olmuyor. Bu Haltane çizgisinde, evet. Ancak bence ondan daha iyi olmuş. Çünkü Haltane de olmayan bir konforlu taraf var. Sert koseler gitmiş gibi. Notalarda yok ama kahve var burada. Deri ise gercekten yumuşak şekilde. Praline-çikolata var hemde belirgin şekilde. Gövde aslinda ondan oluşuyor. Kisacasi başarılı bir parfum olmuş.

I have never smelled PDM Haltan ,so there is no comparison! But this one smells amazing; quit balanced notes and it does not smell cheap at all ! One of best blind buys ever :)

@Parhamvali: 9-10 hours with pretty strong projection for the first 3. Not super beast mode, but overall a very good performing fragrance for the price.

Did a bit of an oopsie on this one and blind bought it without reading the comments or stuff (did watch a few review vids). Why did I buy it? I went to my nearest department store and one of the fragrance saleswomen showed me Haltane by PdM. Didn't really like the smokey opening at first but LOVED the drydown - rich, lavender woodiness. I thought this would be the same. Unfortunately it is not. Haydan by French Avenue is not the same as Haltane, but it does share similar DNA. Imagine Haltane but without the dark woodiness and smokiness in it, then you'd have Haydan (shockingly almost a 1:1 clone in that aspect). The removal of said elements makes it more of a autumn/spring scent rather than a winter scent in my opinion. I don't get as much of a lavender here unfortunately, Haltane does it a lot better, so if you're a fan of that then you might want to get the real one - or other clones, but I haven't smell any of the other clones so I can't give you an honest opinion. French Aveune is my favourite clone fragrance house, and I can see they tried to do something unique here, which I respect. It lasts for quite a long time especially on clothes, I can still catch whiffs of it after a day or so. On skin it does last for 7-8 hours, and in shower it actually smells very unique and different - which I'd prefer the scent I got there than the juice in the bottle??? Sillage wise it is decent, can definitely smell it at an arm's length - spray 3-4 times is more than enough. Anyways - If you like Haltane by PdM but don't like the dark woodiness/smokiness of it, then Haydan is the way to go. 6.4/10
